VELA Tango is a series of work chairs developed to enable the user to keep the usual level of activity and independence at home and at the work place – despite the user’s disability. A unique central brake ensures that the user has a stable work place, which means, that working in the kitchen with knives or boiling water is safe. Four smoothly running and direction-stable wheels make the chair easy to ‘walk.

Benefits with a VELA Tango chair

Stable and supporting work chair for everyday tasks in, e.g., the kitchen

The stable frame and the central brake ensure safety when the user is getting into and out of the chair

Good ergonomics support and comfort ensure an optimum sitting position that facilitates activity and participation

The work chair use

VELA Tango is particularly well suited for people with disabilities because the chair provides the user with extra safety and stability during everyday activities at home, at the workplace or in rehabilitation.

The Tango chair is available with both a manual seat height adjustment, like on a regular office chair, and with electrical height adjustment which enable the user with reduced strength or movability getting in and out of the chair with les trouble avoiding painful bumps.

The central brake and the stable armrests make it easier to get into and out of the chair. The user can lean on the armrest as the chair will not move. This is a benefit to users who have problems regarding mobility or balance

The chair has smoothly running wheels and plenty of room for the feet. This means that the user can easily ‘walk’ the chair while sitting down and move around without assistance.

Adjustment of the seat height, depth and tilt plus backrests and armrests ensures the optimum conditions for an ergonomic sitting position.

Accessory: VELA has developed a special fold-up footrest for work chairs. When it is used, it stabilizes the chair and can be used as a footboard or as a stabilizing footrest when sitting high up.

All VELA work chairs can be ordered with a large selection of accessories and special solutions for the chair to be adapted to the needs of individual users, for instance handles developed for people with arthritis in hands and fingers. VELA offers individual solutions within padding, support, handles and electrical adjustment.

Work chairs improve the work environment

Height adjustment of the seat improves the work position for assistants, e.g., when the user needs assistance at meals or when getting dressed. The height adjustment means that the user can be placed high up and easily be placed at the same level as a bed or a chair for easy and safe transfer. The height-adjustable push handle eases the work if the user has to be moved.
